Here is a little test that will help you decide. The correct answer is the one that best fits what your response would be. The test:
You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a terrorist with a huge knife walks around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises his knife, and charges you. You are carrying a Kimber 1911 .45 caliber ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have just seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
Democrat’s Answer
- That’s not enough information to answer the question!
- What is a Kimber 1911 .45 caliber ACP?
- Does the man look poor or oppressed?
- Is he really a terrorist? Am I guilty of profiling?
- Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
- Could we run away?
- What does my wife think?
- What about the kids?
- Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
- What does the law say about this situation?
- Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
- Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does that send to society and to my children?
- Is it possible he’d be happy with killing just me?
- Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content to just wound me?
- If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
- Should I call 911?
- Why is this street so deserted?
- We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day.
- Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior?
- I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
- This is all so confusing!
